Yes, because cash balances are sufficient to cover the difference between the capital expenditure and cash flow in 2016.

Yes, but only if existing cash in the beginning of 2015 is greater than 1,290.

No, because the capital expenditure is larger than the operating cash flow in 2016.

No, because the company does not have sufficient cash to finance the capital expenditure.
